"Professional, Strong Sense of Urgency and Effective"

- Esteban Q

My 5 year old and 3 year old wanted us to go full electric on our vehicles. They knew we could not find many EV options in Costa Rica but they didn't want to quit. We were lucky to work with Michael, from the get go he understood the importance of inspiring trust, he was professional and most importantly super responsive. He carefully explained every step of the way and made sure things happened smoothly. Thank Michael, this was a dream come true for my kiddos. Esteban Quiros - (Global Finance Manager )

"Excellent customer service"

- Marc P.

I worked with Michael Gelbert and he was fantastic! From the beginning Micheal was both approachable, professional and knowledgeable. The entire process took about a week, which was due to my availability. The dealership let me take the car to my mechanic for him to inspect, and Michael even came in on his day off! I would highly recommend both the Certified Benz Beemer dealership and especially Michael.

Marc:
Thank you so much for letting our customer know about the excellent customer service you received from Michael and Certified Benz & Beemer. We are delighted that you had a fantastic car buying experience. We are so grateful for your business and your recommendation of CBB to others. We hope to have the pleasure of providing with another 5 Star experience in the future.

"Disappointed Repeat Customer"

- Johnson01

I came into the dealership on Sunday (12/23/18) with the intent on purchasing a BMW M550. I was prepared to trade-in a BMW I purchased from Certified Benz & Beemer or out right purchase. My experience started out well but ended on a negative note. Because I didn't like or accept the offer the dealership offer, the salesman said we're done here and walked out. When I asked about talking to finance about another matter I was informed to just send them an email with the information. Nothing like my previous experience. Yet, on Monday I receive an email inviting me back in and that they would strive to provide me, our valued customer with respect, prompt information and would look forward to rolling out the red carpet & provide me with the service I deserve.
Unfortunately, we don't always get another chance and I certainly did not leave with the impression they really cared at all. After all this is only my perception and just like the dealership, how I feel or the way they is not the same.

"Easiest dealer ever"

- tRAMhoman

I could go into detail of the many many times I’ve purchased a vehicle from other dealers but I’m sure all those reading this already know the usual experience. My sales person was Micheal Gelbert
He provided an extremely low to no pressure experience. Gave me the simplest price breakdown with none of the usual dealer add ons
Straight price tax and documents fee for an “out the door price”. Needless to say I made the purchase our next vehicle purchase will be at CBB
Only complaint would be the detailers attention to details when cleaning but .....
I am very particular on the cleanliness of my vehicle

Dear tRAMhoman:
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us regarding how easy your recent car purchase was working with Michael at CBB. We are grateful for the opportunity to earn your business and look forward to the next time that we can assist you. We also appreciate your comments on the detailers' attention to detail. We will be sure to share your valuable comments with our management team. We hope to have the pleasure of helping you again in the future. Happy Holidays!

"Car sales you can trust"

- Arthurbia

Michael Gelbert was an amazing sales person when it came to finding the perfect replacement for my recently total loss 2003 MBZ 500 SL which I bought new here Santa Barbara CA 15 years ago.. Michael made sure to point out anything I might not like about my beautiful 2008 MBZ 550 SL with only 59K miles since I was buying it sight unseen. He arranged for the financing and a timely truck delivery to California.
I have already recommended CB&B to 3 of my friends.

Dear Arthurbia:
Thanks so much for taking the time to let our customers know how easy it is to make an out-of-state purchase form CBB. We are delighted to hear that Michael was so amazing to work with. We are so grateful that you chose CBB and for your very kind review. We also love when our happy customers refer us to their friends and family, We hope to have the pleasure of assisting those you refer (as well as you again!!) in the future. Happy Holidays!

"Great experiance. Very professional sales staff and techs."

- SteveS

I have only bought new cars in a long time, but I was very pleased with this dealership and my sales person. The dealership has a very level of quality in the cars they were offering and Mike (my salesman) was great. Never pushed, very informative and knowledgeable. I would certainly recommend them and expect that the next time I need a car I will start with them.

"Huge selection of high quality well priced vehicles."

- Happy Airline Pilot Guy

Zero Pressure Sales. They providednus with the facts on the vehicles and gave a good offer for our trade. Never any pressure to buy. Mike was a super helpful sales man. I would send my mom here to buy a car and not worry about her.
Once we deciced to buy, the finance experience was quick and painless without the pressure tp upsell.

What a great review! Thanks for sharing with our customers that you enjoyed our huge selection of top notch vehicles as well as our zero pressure environment. It's great to hear that Mike was so helpful too. We are grateful for your business and look forward to delivering another 5 Star experience for you the next time. Happy Holidays!
